Yes. the story is charming. It has quite a few (final fantasy) jokes that landed really well and got me laughing. the gameplay is fun. it's fun to collect all the monsters and train them.

the game also makes it ridiculously easy to train up any new monsters you get, so you never have to stick with ones you get early on if you come across ones that you want more

So is World of Final Fantasy worth it? More importantly, what are the chances it comes to PC later?

It was the best Final Fantasy game released last year.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to come up with a USB attachment that has cell processing to emulate games. It's a shame we couldn't have a bottom attachment like with what was potentially planned with the SNES and Sony.

Agree. It still strange how the Xbone got 360 BC to a pretty good point, where the PS4 still doesn't have PS1 support.

the xbox ones cpu is not as different from 360 as ps3 to ps4

Xbox also isnt invested in streaming games, isnt selling on merits of current software, and they have a lot of money to solve problems with.

It was an easier problem, they were better equipped to solve it, and they absolutely needed to solve it to stop the bleeding.

Ps3 is weird tech, sony needs to validate owning a stream service, and the ps4 sells real well so they dont care

i think you should be asking yourself why xbone didnt have bc until it was really obvious they were in distant second place, if you want to know why the ps4 does not have bc of any kind

sony has to serve a bunch of different masters like their streaming division and 4k blueray player division and music delivery division (remember playing audio on a launch ps4?) and its responsible for most of the bad decisions they've made.

4K Blu-ray is in a really weird place because it's a straight-up downgrade if you're not using a 4K HDR screen because the color grading is often done differently and in a way where you're expected to have HDR; most discs will even straight-up tell you to watch the regular Blu-ray instead if your equipment chain isn't 4K capable. It's a bit different from DVD and Blu-ray which were explicit full upgrades and where it did sort of make sense to get the media and player even if the rest of your equipment wasn't maxing out the format's potential.

It's insane to me that companies are selling consumer media at 4K, you could literally use them for cinema projections.

There was actually a major concern with this format because the higher-ups in movie studios feared clandestine theaters.

They still haven't figured out that only a miniscule segment of the population actually gives a gently caress how many p's the movie they're watching is at.

Short of the studios forcing consumers' hands, DVD isn't going away in our lifetime.

I just realized tonight that I forgot to buy the 2 dollar Katamari game and I'm real salty about it. Is there a place that shows like price history or frequency of sales so I can convince myself that I didn't permanently miss out on the deal?

E: the one time I forget to check the OP first. Looks like I'll have to wait another year, if they even have sales on it anymore. So salty.

Well yeah, that explains why PS3 games can't run on a PS4 unless you stream them. Doesn't explain why PS1 games can't run on a PS4 though, given that the PS4 is clearly powerful enough to fairly accurately emulate a PS1 (especially as Sony should know how a PS1 works, they made the drat thing). It's clearly powerful enough to emulate PS2 games with a few fancy features added in like trophies, consistent framerate and upping the display resolution with the PS2 Classics line, so I don't know why PS1 games are being skipped.

sony would very much like people to want ps1 games, but once again, it would cannibalize their other, shittier efforts

The Xbox 360 processor is nowhere close to the x86 architecture of the new console. I mean apples are closer to oranges than bigmacs but it's a technical marvel they are able to emulate the 360 at all and especially so well.

I'm pretty sure the main reason the PS4 can't play PS1 games is because they want to eventually start releasing PS1 classics with upscaled resolutions and trophies

FF7 is a port of the PC port's re-release and Sony had nothing to do with it. Sony..

Yeah. I'm pretty sad right now because my PS3 broke down. It was one of the old ones that had hardware support for PS1 / PS2 games, and I have a pretty big collection of those. Lately, I've wanted to got back and play the early Yakuza games, and I don't have a machine that can do that . Kiwami is coming out in a few months, and I wanted to do a comparison.

Ive never played the crash games and the remake looks like butthole but short of pulling my PS2 out of storage and tracking down ps1 discs I don't have a way of doing that.
